If assertion is true but reason is false.
Absorption of substances takes place in different parts of the alimentary canal, like mouth, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. However, maximum absorption occurs in the small intestine. Therefore, small intestine is the principal organ for absorption of nutrients. Digestion is completed here and the final products of digestion that is glucose, fructose, fatty acids etc are absorbed through the mucosa into the blood stream and lymph.
However, absorption of sugar, water, alcohol etc takes place in stomach. It mainly takes place in large intestine where absorption of minerals and drugs take place too.
